Forbidding Expressions of Support

So who's "cutting off debate" now (not the MSM will report it that way)? The House Democrats are refusing to allow a vote on any measure but their own non-binding expression of opposition to the "troop surge" -- a measure, which, as General Petraeus pointed out, has the effect of emboldening the enemy.

The Republicans would like to offer their own measure, which includes an expression of support for the troops and the surge. But in the Democratic House, it seems that expressions of support for the troops and the mission upon which they are embarking are, sadly, forbidden.
